Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7” refers to a chapter within the United States federal bankruptcy law that allows qualifying debtors to eliminate most kinds of unsecured debt.

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy can eliminate most filers’ debts within a few months.

At Khan Law, we help consumers take advantage of the benefits of this extremely powerful and flexible debt-elimination option. We serve clients in Dublin, Livermore, Fremont, Pleasanton and throughout the San Joaquin and Stanislaus County area.

Among the many debts you can eliminate through a Chapter 7 business or personal bankruptcy are

Credit Card Balances

Medical Bills

Most Personal Loans

Judgement From Car Accidents

Defiencies on Repossessed Vehicles

Old Tax Debt

There Is No Reason to Fear a Personal Bankruptcy

Although the word “liquidation” may sound intimidating, the truth is very few people who file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy end up surrendering assets in this way.

Most often, the bankruptcy trustee determines that a no-asset case exists, meaning that the filer has no assets from which creditors can benefit. Another important factor is that certain assets, such as a filer’s home or vehicle, are exempt from liquidation up to certain values. What this means is that Chapter 7 bankruptcy typically allows filers to keep most, if not all, of their properties.

As long as your car and mortgage payments are current, and you own no significant equity in your property, our law office should have no problem arranging for you to reaffirm these debts while continuing to make timely payments. Put another way, you can file for Chapter 7 and still keep your house and automobile.

Although, after filing for Chapter 7, your credit rating may suffer temporarily, it can be rebuilt quickly and easily.

Other Advantages of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

As soon as your bankruptcy filing is completed, the judge issues an “automatic stay” that our attorney can use to halt all wage garnishments, harassing creditor calls and bill collection efforts against you. It also stops all lawsuits against you. Further, your bank cannot be authorized to seize money from your accounts.

For the duration of your bankruptcy proceeding, you will receive a “timeout” on financial collections. By the time your bankruptcy is completed, the debts that caused these headaches should be discharged.
